Sue, Christopher, Jonathan and Sarah -
You might not remember me, but I used to live behind you. I thought of your family randomly last night, and was so saddened to see the obituary for Darryl.
You are in my thoughts. I'm so sorry for your loss and for only hearing about it now. I have many fond memories of your family- from you letting me walk Nike in the pet parade to holding your children and watching them grow for a short time (I'm sure they're all grown up by now!)
My sincerest condolences.

Darryl was not only a warm, caring and wonderful human being, but an inspiration to others. His optomistic attitude and happy, gracious presence no matter his situation or condition always stood out. Darryl was the epitome of the human experience. His warmth and humble nature always stood out. I knew Darryl from our camping club. And I was fortunate to share time and a campfire with him. Rest In Peace Darryl, you'll always be remembered with a smile, a grace and a happy rememberance that will light the heavens and shine like a star for all eternity.
